Chapter 109 Search

It is not easy to find a shop in Kyoto. Even if it is in a corner, it is always in great demand.

This made Chen Shiyi frustrated.

Later, she decided not to look for a shop in Kyoto, and moved the location of the shop to Yanzhou.

"Would that be inappropriate?"

In response to the old man's questions, Chen Shiyi explained.

"I thought it would be best to find a shop in Kyoto, but then I thought about it and realized that Kyoto has high expenses and fierce competition. I might even be targeted by others. After much deliberation, I decided to open a shop in Yanzhou first and then work slowly. One step at a time, stability is the most important thing."

Before returning to Yanzhou, Chen Shiyi hired a painter at a high price and took him to the clinic to find the doctor who treated her at the time.

"Please describe his general appearance to me, and the artist will draw it according to your description."

The doctor in the hospital is really impatient.

"Miss cousin, I beg you, please let me go. If you come to see me every day, it will not only harm your reputation, but I can't stand the tigress in my family!"

Chen Shiyi quickly explained.

"For the last time, for the last time, I will never bother you again."

The doctor at the clinic had no choice but to explain it again to the painter.

The final result is that I only drew a rough outline, but there is no definition of the facial features at all.

Chen Shiyi was very depressed. He had no choice but to take the portrait and examine it carefully for half a day.

The old man looked at Chen Shiyi's distressed expression and went up to take a look at the painting.

"Who is this?"

"That's the man who saved me that day."

"It's the same as not drawing at all."

Chen Shiyi pursed his lips.

"I don't know who he is, why he didn't leave his name, and he didn't come to look for me afterwards. Maybe he couldn't find me? Oh, I forgot to leave my address to the doctor at the hospital."

"You have a nice-looking head, don't you? How can the doctor in the hospital not know who you are?"

"Oh, that's true..."

The old man said earnestly.

"Eleven, could he be one of Uncle Nine's dead men? Or maybe he was killed in the fight on Qingque Street?"

Chen Shiyi felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

"No, good people will be rewarded."

The old man continued to ask.

"Perhaps they were the Marquis of Loyalty's men. He had sent guards to protect you, but I heard that they were all killed."

Chen Shiyi shook his head in a daze.

"I don't know, but my feeling is that he knows me."

The old man's eyes rolled.

"Eleven, last time I told you that I would introduce you to some young talents. You are already nineteen, and you are not young anymore. It is time for you to get married."

Chen Shiyi said seriously.

"Uncle, you have one great virtue that I admire."

"What are the advantages?"

"I never got married."

When the old man heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"I don't want to, but I don't have the money."

"I really don't want to. I think it's good for me to live my life like this, free and unfettered, without anyone to control me, and I can do whatever I want."

Mr. Hu snorted and disagreed.

"You feel free now because no one has noticed you yet and you have my house to keep you safe. When I go to paradise, you, a rich woman without a husband, will be nothing to the men of this world. You will be a fat sheep without even a sheepfold. He can easily take your wealth and make mutton soup with it."

After hearing what his grandfather said, Chen Shiyi fell into deep thought.

"The man you met now, Uncle Ninth Prince, do you know why he is being hunted by so many people? Do you know why he needs so much money? He is secretly working as a knife for the emperor, establishing a shady organization, just to supervise all officials and make the emperor's power more concentrated. Therefore, officials with stains, fearing that Uncle Ninth Prince will find out about him, secretly assassinate him. A man like Uncle Ninth Prince, if he wants to do this, his methods are naturally more cruel than those officials. In places you can't see, I don't know how much blood is stained on his hands. He is so nice to you, just because you saved his life, it's fresh for him. If you didn't save his life, based on your attitude towards him, I don't know how many times you would have died under his knife..."

"Also, the Marquis of Loyalty, your former master, is not a good person either. The emperor helped him seize the power of his father, the Marquis of Suo, and he should be a sharp weapon in the emperor's hand to eliminate the power of Prime Minister Mo's Mansion, even if he married the eldest daughter of the Mo family. This old man guesses that in a few years, the Marquis of Loyalty will personally put a knife on the neck of his father-in-law."

"You are still young, you haven't met many people, you haven't experienced many things, you will understand in the future, people's hearts are only good to those who are willing and like, those who are unwilling and don't like can be discarded like worn-out shoes, trampled underfoot as if they are nothing."

Chen Shiyi thought for a long time before nodding.

"Uncle, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Mr. Hu's eyes lit up with joy.

"Have you figured it out?"

Chen Shiyi said affirmatively.

"Well, when I find the man who sent me to the hospital, I will marry him."

Old Master Hu rolled his eyes. It seemed like she didn't hear a word he just said!

"There are several very talented young men in this spring exam. I roughly looked through their exam papers. There is one named Pei, who is said to be the top scorer in the Ezhou Prefecture. He has a beautiful handwriting, a magnificent vision, and a deep mind, which is very unique. However, there is a hook on the end of the character "平", which the examiner does not like. Otherwise, he would definitely be a member of this session..."

Chen Shiyi's mind went blank, and the long-sealed memories came flooding back.

"His last name is Pei?"

"Well, it's a pity that he didn't make it to the palace examination this time. It is said that he was seriously ill and had no chance to take the palace examination..."

Chen Shiyi asked hurriedly.

"What serious illness did you have?"

"How would I know? I just heard a few words."

"Uncle, can you help me find out where he lives?"

Old Master Hu looked very strange.

"You know him?"

"Yes, an old friend."

"Okay, I'll go ask..."

Pei Luoshu rented a house in a courtyard in Yuhua Lane in the inner city of Kyoto. When Chen Shiyi went there to inquire, the courtyard was already empty.

"When did he leave? Do you know where he went?"

The owner shook his head.

"He's been gone for almost a month, and his whereabouts are unknown."

Chen Shiyi was very depressed.

They both lived in Kyoto, but were unaware of each other's existence. By the time they heard about him, he had already left.

It really is not fate.

She was wondering, could it be him who saved her that day?

How great it would be if it were him.

If it weren't for him, if it weren't for him...

Alas, time flies, and after so many experiences, things are no longer the same as they used to be...

He is no longer the A'luo from Ping'an Town, but in her heart she is still looking for the person who gave her a new life.

In the end, it is like clouds and sea, night and day, there is no time to stay together, no day to meet each other, no time to meet each other...
